T0 all whomz'tmay concern. I

Be it known that 1, JOHN KARITZYKX, a citizen of the United States, and,=residing at Garwood, rinythe county of Unioilealld State of'NewJersey, hayeinyented certain new and useful Improvements in Toggles, ofwhich the. following is .a specification, taken in connection with ;theaccompanying draw.-

hly invention relates to toggles and more particularly to a toggle inwhich the hinge member can be readily placed or changed by the mechanic.Itfurther relates to: such .a

toggle in which the hinge member =isafnot permanently secured to the=toggle,as {by rivetingior other similar means. 5

My, invention further relates to such .a toggle in which ahead is formedpreferably ofspring material, which can be opened .by the operator toinsert the hinge-member, or if a hinge memberis alreadymounted in thehead he can readilycremove it in case he desires to substitute anotherform of binge member.

hiy invention further relates to such a spring headed toggle which ispreferably stamped out of sheet. metal. At the same time that it isstamped, or subsequently, it may be provided with seats for the hingemember and also, though not necessarily, with oneor more stops. Thesestops are preferably formed by crimping over one or both of the freeends of the substantially V shaped head so that they will engage withthe bolt or other member and insure the proper alinement of the headwith the bolt when it is inserted in the hole in the wall.

My invention further relates to certain details of construction andcombinations which will be more fully described in the specification andpointed out in the claims,

" and to a strong serviceable toggle which can be manufactured atminimum expense.

I have shown in the accompanying drawings d fferent embodiments of myinventlon,

but of course it is clearly understood that.

my invention is not to be confined to the particular forms shown by wayof example except as required by "the scope of my claims. I

In the accompanying drawings the same reference numerals refer. tosimilar parts in the several figures. V Figure 1 1s a perspective viewof my togroeenn.

gle inrwhichrthe hinge member is an ord-mary' square screw-threaded nut;

. F g. 2 is :a perspective view of the toggle headshcwnin Fig. -1 butprovided with two stops formed Ebyflcnimping over the freeendsroif'thezhead 7 v ai s is auras view of one form of I hinge member,that is-usedin Fig. 1;

N Fig. 4 isa perspective view of one form of my toggle in which thehinge imembe fis adiamond shaped nut;

Fig.':5 is a plan-view of a head similar to that in Fig.4 ibutprovided with two stops Fig. 9 is a plan view of the T headed bolt shown in Fig.8.

In the illustrated embodiments of my in vention shownin the drawings 1is a toggle head provided with arms 2 and 3 and with seats 4, 4 tocooperate with any suitable form of hinge member.

Fig- 3, or diamond shaped nut6, Fig. 6, in which the ends 7 7 are ineffect trunnions, or itmay be a nut 8 in which the trunnions 9, 9, Fig.7 aremore prononnced, or it may be an ordinary T headed bolt 10, Fig. 9,or any other similar hinge member which is not permanently secured tothe toggle head by riveting or other similar means. These differentforms of binge members are interchangeable in my toggle head. i

The hinge member 5, or any other suitable hinge member, may be placed inmy toggle head by pressing open the free ends 11, 11 of the arms 2 and3. If the hinge member 5, 6 or 8, or any similar hinge member is used,the bolt 12 is screwed into the hinge member. To locate the toggle headin a 7 hole in a wall it is brought into alinement V the other end 14 ofthehead, will drop into This hinge member may be theordinarysquare nut.5,

of sheet metal and at the same time that the toggle head is stamped Ipreferably, though not necessarily, provide it with the seats 4, 4: tocooperate with the hinge member, whatever the form of, the hinge membermay be. p

I also, preferably, though not necessarily, provide the free ends 11, 11or one of them, with stops 15, 15 by bending over or crimp ing a portionof the end or ends. These stops engage with the bolt 12 when the togglehead is brought into alinement with the bolt and prevent the head fromswinging past the bolt, and keeps it in alinement with the bolt while itis being pushed into the hole in the wall.

The toggle head may be given various configurations. I have shown forexample in Fig. 4; a little different form of toggle head 16 in whichany form of hinge member may be used, as for example a diamond shapetrunnion nut 6. I preferably, though not necessarily, provide this headwith stops 17, 17, Fig. 5, which perform the same function as the stops15, 15 in Fig. 2.

In Fig. 8 I have shown the toggle head 1 provided with a hinge member inthe form of a T headed bolt 10; the head 18 coopert ld.

ates with the seats 4:, 4: of the toggle head andis provided with a nut19 to secure the work (not shown).

Having thus described this invention in connection with illustrativeembodiments 7 thereof to the details of which I do not desire to belimited, except as required by the scope of the appended claims, what isclaimed as new and what is desired to secure by Letters Patent is setforth in the appended claims.

What I claim is: I

1. In a togglebolt, the combination of a spring head provided with anopen end and seats for a hinge member, a hinge member freely andremovably mounted on said seats, anda securin member to securethe springhead to a wal or other support and one or more stops formed by bendingone or both the free ends of the spring head.

2. In a toggle bolt the combination of a substantially V shaped headhaving its ends disconnected and said head being provided with seats fora hinge memberya hinge member freely and removably mounted on saidseats, and a securing member to secure the spring head to a wall orother support. v JOHN KARITZKY.
